Corporations should not have unalienable (human) rights, because they are not human. They are legal fictions created by a charter which is issued by (surprise!) the government. Therefore they do not deserve and were never intended to deserve, the protections of the first amendment. The FEC is only trying to prevent our government from being further overwhelmed by corporate power. There is nothing to be affraid of! However if the CATO institute has it's way, you can kiss our country goodbye
The court needs to return to the fundamentals. Is the Movie the functional equal of 'falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater"? Does the film present a "grave and immediate danger" to the larger society? Nay! But the law bites at the most fundamental of our preferred freedoms. Why was it relevant to the FEC that the film was to run through "cable". One can watch almost anything on cable-- even porn! So how then can the gov abdicate our right to choose?
